Herman Miller Aeron Chair

Does anyone use a Herman Miller Aeron Chair? My chair is old and not very user friendly. I am looking to get something that is better for sitting and working on the computer all day long. I know they are expensive, but over time and considering the hours it will be used, then it is not too bad.

So if you have one or work in one, do you notice a huge difference between it and other office chairs? Is it cooler to sit in over the course of the day due to its mesh structure? What do you like or not like about it?

i use one and highly recommend it. i've had two back surgeries, and so my chair is important to me... great support, customizability, breathability, etc.



i'm sitting in it here, and the guest chairs are some excellent knock-offs, i got from a guy in florida (bought two dozen of them...)



buy from here and tell them you want 10% off. use my name as a referral client

I have one in my office, it's very comfortable and adjustable. Just be aware that some models have more adjustability than others. For example, the seat tilt can be adjusted on some models, but not on mine.

I have one of the knock-offs at home - I like it quite a bit. I've also had 2 back surgeries and am about ready for another. This chair works for me.

The come in three different sizes. Small, Medium and Large.

Reasonably comfy. Adjustable and unlike most ergo chairs, if you want to
lean back, you can

I should add, that you can pick them up used fairly cheap. But beware.
When they go, it's usually the base that craps out.

I got the Mirra. Also by Herman Miller. Similar, but cheaper. Some things about it I like more, some less.
